Belasko, I understand that the two are like comparing a “Honda to a BMW” I would rather compare them like a 1 ton super duty vs a smart for two.
The reason I did this is because I too went the cheap route with the two ODC. I wanted to get set up so quickly that I overlooked some things so I could get set up quickly. I have only ridden in two different boats so I am no expert by any means. But I can give input on an ODC, and an ODC classic vs Outcast fc9.
After I started to look a little I started to see great deals on better used boats. I have seen Bucks bags south fork’s for a couple of hundred dollars. I have seen outcasts for a couple hundred and I got mine for that.
I was looking at his post at the part where he is going to get two pontoons and does not want to break the bank. A couple new NFO’s are going to run over 2000 dollars. A couple of X10’s are going to be over 2800 dollars. Start pimping them out and adding motors and WOW things are going to get expensive quick. Can the Renegade take a motor?
I have never used a Renegade or an X10. I am sure that they are great rides but they are more in the range of the “ rob the bank “ boats when compared to used boats like the FC9.
I wanted him to see that there are HUGE differences in quality and not to be afraid to look for a used one. I wasn’t bashing Creek Company and am not bashing NFO, I was just giving my opinion on the low-end ODC model. I do think that by comparing them I gave him real life opinions on some issues that he might want to consider. Ron
